I have five oec stones between 4.0 and 4.6mm and would like to make a repro vintage band with them. I love the U prong look, as opposed to the basket setting. Ideally I'd like 18k yellow band with platinum head, but I'll do all plat. if that's all I can find. Stuller has two options, but they're rather bland. So can all you wonderfully sparkly lovers search your databases or favorites folders and direct me to some options? I promise to share the outcome with you!!

I've been wanting 5-stone open profile ring for a long time, although with my e-ring diamond (1ct) as the center stone. I will try to dig up what I've found. Here is Demelza's Sasha Primak 5-stone:

old-fashioned girl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,621 Last Post: 10/31/2008 Member Since: 8/1/2005	This was a really pretty one at an antique shop. Only 3-stone, but again an idea. The reason for the cone-shaped thingy's in between diamonds was they were sort of a bar-setting between stones, with pave on the bar. It was pretty so I can post the top view if you like. (Even though this is a sort of a basket-setting, I love how the bar for the basket is curved, and the milgrain - it makes it so much more interesting and pretty than just a plain basket with straight bar.)

old-fashioned girl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,621 Last Post: 10/31/2008 Member Since: 8/1/2005	Here was another vintage-looking one. I didn't like how the prongs for the center stone were just plopped on top, not integrated, but this style could work well with 5 stones of same size. I thought I had more antique-style ones like you showed, but still can't find them....

old-fashioned girl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,621 Last Post: 10/31/2008 Member Since: 8/1/2005	Ok, now I'm really stretching. This is only 3-stone, with large center, but still I looked at anything that would give me an idea for open-profile. This belongs to a Pricescoper named Punch n Pie.

old-fashioned girl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,621 Last Post: 10/31/2008 Member Since: 8/1/2005	Oh well, I'm getting tired! Those are the main open-profiles that I came across. I know what you mean about liking the open profile, but not wanting it too bland. Or some are too U-ey, if you know what I mean. Especially in some of those older ones, like I just posted, the U is too distinct from the shank part, if that makes any sense. So for what it's worth, I'm getting something mostly like the Mark Morell. I do have a 1ct center stone, so mine's more of an e-ring look, but anyway, I like how his is integrated. Not totally vintage, but it has (hopefully?) some of the character that antique rings have. Mine will be something like this one, although with smaller side diamonds (16pts closest to the 1.1ct center, then 12 I think, then 10), and probably without that little bump below the prong. If you can picture that...

old-fashioned girl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,621 Last Post: 10/31/2008 Member Since: 8/1/2005	Yikes, that picture was too small. Anyway, my ring will be something like JadeLeaves' ring, but with graduated side-stones (3 per side), with a different head that is more integrated, and probably without the little bumps. But every time I go in my folder I find more pics, so maybe I'll post some more. This one is very tiny; the best pic I've seen is in a bridal magazine, but this will have to do. The sides are very dainty, but the open-profile look is pretty from what I can tell. Don't know how it would translate to a 5-stone ring?

old-fashioned girl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,621 Last Post: 10/31/2008 Member Since: 8/1/2005	Well, I am definitely getting tired. That last one was Mark Morrell again. I will try another katharine james. If it's too small to see,you'll have to look in a bridal magazine; the detail is very good in the ad.

old-fashioned girl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,621 Last Post: 10/31/2008 Member Since: 8/1/2005	I'm back, because I want to see if I can get that Katharine James ring any bigger, not that it really matters... (It's an open profile with an antique twist, but with teeny tiny melee.)

Not to threadjack, but what do you think of it?)
